Install MK on Slave HD with netinstall

RouterOS General
1

Hello Experts,

I need help to solve a problem because my motherboard has hd and dvd as sata interfaces. To solve this problem this what I did:

  1. Install windows
  2. Put second HD
  3. I am trying to install on the second hd the mikrotik with netinstall
    → works ?
  4. It seems installs but when I try to boot with second Hd with mikrotik does boot because something was wrong with installation

any solution ?

Best

I used cheap USB 2 SATA adapter before and it worked. ROS can also be installed and booted from USB flash drive.
If you can’t boot it, it might be BIOS setting (UEFI vs. legacy, HDD controller being IDE/SATA/AHCI/…), or ROS not having driver for the disk controller or some required chipset device.
Sadly ROS doesn’t show anything during booting, so you don’t know what’s really going on and where the problem is. Maybe try a different PC or a virtual machine (I used VMWare for testing before, it can use connected HDD directly).
